Bit 0: DF, Deferred
It is set to indicate the frame is deferred before ready to
transmit.
TDES1: Transmit buffer control and buffer size
Bit 31: CI, Completion Interrupt
It is set to enable transmit interrupt after the present frame
has been transmitted. It is valid only when TDES1<30> is
set or when it is a setup frame.

Buffer Length
Bit 30: ED, Ending Descriptor
It is set to indicate the pointed buffer contains the last
segment of a frame.
Bit 29: BD, Begin Descriptor
It is set to indicate the pointed buffer contains the first
segment of a frame.
Bit 28: FMB1, Filtering Mode Bit 1
This bit is used with FMB0 to indicate the filtering type when
the present frame is a setup frame.
Bit 27: SETF, Setup Frame
It is set to indicate the current frame is a setup frame.
Bit 26: CAD, CRC Append Disable
It is set to disable the CRC appending at the end of the
transmitted frame. Valid only when TDES1<29> is set.
Bit 24: CE, Chain Enable
Must be “1”.
Bit 23: PD, Padding Disable
This bit is set to disable the padding field for a packet shorter
than 64 bytes.
Bit 22: FMB0, Filtering Mode Bit 0
This bit is used with FMB1 to indicate the filtering type when
the present frame is a setup frame.
